I worked at a McDonalds back when I was in H.S. back in the 70’s. Corporate used to send people posing as customers to each store, they would call it a “blitz” and they would grade the store on the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the store, and demeanor of the window people taking orders. If a store was lacking in the service end, they would hear about it. And if it wasn’t rectified there were repercussions. It is true that corporate doesn’t hire or train entry level workers at individual stores, but they have final say if their standards aren’t being met.
McDonalds used to have a wholesome image, and was geared towards kids with their mascot of Ronald and the other characters. My hip hop comment was only made to show how they have changed, and not for the better in my eyes. I don’t know why Fanta and discrimination lawsuits would come into this.

Steak n Shake has gone downhill. They’re downsizing their stores and going to a primarily drive-through take out place. Even counter seating is gone or going.

I’ve stopped going there.

My local McD is owned and staffed almost entirely by African American kids

Really? They were born in Africa?

Here in New Jersey, Salvdorans, Hondurans and Mexicans actually do much of the cooking in Italian restaurants. 😂

Bet ya a Big Mac Meal they’ll net $6 or more billion in 23

If you don’t like the food don’t eat it, plenty of others are,

Same could be said for Walmart, many people had no affordable choice at all before, now they do. Everyone can't eat at Ruth's Cris steak house with Hannity.
